Oh Alison, lovely fabric and it’s giving you fabric hugs. Hugs from me too. Xx

[@SewLikeDotty]

It really is!

[@debbiegauvain8539]

Wow! Very hard to pick a favorite, they are all o lovely! I think maybe #1 or 5. Maybe 4. Oh 3 is beautiful.. lol. I love them all! I can see why you chose them ❤. Thank you for your vlog!😊

[@SewLikeDotty]

Thanks so much 😊

OMG, I love them all! But I think #2 is my favourite. I wanted to high five you through the screen for your deal on the pink and red fabric. Honestly this year i haven't just stepped in poop, I've fallen in a manure pile. Since April, half my probably 100 year old maple tree fell over our fence into the neighbour's yard, took out 2 fences, half of their shed, 1 lawn tractor, smashed a car, and took out another tree. The rest of the tree had to come down and removed, that cost $6000. My son's 2 month old car, leased in my name, was in an accident and totalled. After months waiting insurance finally paid out for the car. Thank goodness no one was hurt. Then my 12 year old oven died, new one cost me $1000. Finally last week, somehow, coming downstairs in the morning missed the bottom step and broke a bone in my foot! No more manure please! On the plus side I can sew with my left foot. I'm wondering what amazing things you will make with all that lovely fabric.

[@SewLikeDotty]

Hopefully your luck is changing 🤞

[@threadtherapy251]

I like fabric number 1 😊 can’t wait to see what you make with them all xx

Love fabric two. Looking forward to your plans. I had a bit of a splurge this week two stretch fabrics (bamboo French Terry, sublime 😊 and the maroon deco crane yoga active wear jersey so silky! )from g &g and three amazing buys from pound fabric their cotton Lycra, the honeycomb jersey £1,50 a metre perfect cardigan fabric with added interest and beige leaves on navy jersey, it’s poly but great for easy wash, no iron days and a lovely pattern very stretchy. I’ve got to get sewing now no excuses 😅

Amazing haul!! Some absolute beauties there. That first one is the same as the fabric I used for my Shay dress, just a different colour way. It's lush! x

Love them all but no 4 is my fave. We have Boyes in our town. When I was young they used to have 2 monkeys in a cage in the basement ❤

I read that to Carl he wasn’t shocked either 😂 I did say it was hard to describe

[@wendybingham]

What a wonderful haul. I loved going to Boyes in Chester-le-Street when I lived in my home town. Now in Northampton nothing here. How I miss those bargains. Looking forward to seeing what you make. Love to listen to your accent. Miss Newcastle dreadfully. Xx

Oh no! We should petition for a Boyes near you 🥰

Love all the fabric! And your reaction to the red/pink is wonderful. I remember Boyes in Beverley where my husband is from. Glad to hear the stores are still thriving. As for crying when daughters leave - mine is in her 40’s now and I cry when she arrives and when she leaves. So does she 😊

[@AvrilBrown-ld6gm]

Some gorgeous fabrics there! I really miss Boyes - although I now live on the south coast, we used to go on holiday to North Yorkshire every year and the nearest town had a Boyes - it was always the first shop we went to (even before the bakery next door!). Lucky you ❤ My favourite is the last one - I think it's beautiful. I can't think of anything else but slip dresses right now lol

[@SewLikeDotty]

Pleased they inspired you x

Number 5 is my favourite. I have never been to Boyes; I live in the south, no Boyes here. Great fabrics and lot of them!

We should petition to open some 😀

Number four defo. xx

[@SewLikeDotty]

Can’t wait to get going with them all

[@SewMyTime]

WOW an incredible haul. Love all of them and seeing your joy was wonderful. Cannot believe the value for money. Fabric envy here for sure- nowhere like that in South East Wales- just as well as I am on a fabric ban. And no, you will always cry when your daughter leaves but there’s nothing wrong with that. Happy shopping and sewing. Looking forward to seeing your plans. 😊 Lynne

[@jankerslake5813]

Yes Lynne, same here. I’m a bit further west past Swansea and we just don’t have lovely fabric shops like they have elsewhere. Wonder why that is?! Frustrating! 😢

My favourites were no 1 and 2. I was in Boyes a couple of weeks ago. It’s a retail park near Durham centre called the Arnison Centre. I picked up a Nerida Hansen fabric at £10 per metre…..it’s delicious.

[@SewLikeDotty]

I know the Arisen well im really a Bishop Auckland girl So they get much in?

I still need to go there- the stores can be a bit hit & miss but always worth a look if there’s one near by x

Hi Alison, I went on a Boyes hunt just out of interest to see how far away the nearest one to me is .Couldn’t believe it when I realised there is a branch in Cambridge! I had no idea! Can’t wait to go and have a butchers, (that’s a bit of east end for you)😂

I am so jealous of the apparel fabric and reasonable prices you have in the UK. over here in the states, in the midwest, I don't have access to such beautiful fabrics and if I do they are $12-15 a yard

I like number 5 fabric best but they are all lovely fabrics. There was a small package waiting for me this morning when I returned home from shopping. Just a couple of metres of William (Morris type) Garden crepe de chine from Dalston Mill. It looks better here at home than it did online. I'm going to make a top with it but haven't decided which pattern yet.

I love fabric no. 5. I would buy that if I saw it! As for my sewing, I am just about to make my first Fibre Mood Elisa blouse. I haven't used one of their patterns for ages and now I remember why! Why can't they just put out a pattern with the seam allowance and markings all integrated???? Also the instructions don't look good. Luckily I have just made the Donny shirt, so I am going to make it along those lines, so I am going to include a yoke and gathered back bodice.

I tend to use the layers and cut line only otherwise by brain can’t cope with all the lines 😂

Hi Alison, can I ask did you get your cataracts done on the NHS? Did you have them set for distance? I’m surprised that they are talking about piggy back lenses as I thought they would only do that if the outcome was really off and not only due to needing glasses for distance? As in, if the outcome is good enough and you just need glasses for distance then that is okay. I’m only asking as I need one eye done and have been putting it off - as I had laser eye surgery 20 years ago and it makes it more complex and unpredictable.
